Given the advance nature of IS tech, her railgun should be just as powerful impact-wise even if she uses solid slug shots.

EDIT:

Spoiler for Scene:

The main holographic widescreen in the room displays the abstract overview of the Academy, littered with blue blips indicating the locations of the various Academy students, instructors and the security squad that are currently forming a defensive perimeter around the island.

The female operator manning the control panel then establishes contact with the security squad, tapping the communicator on her right ear as she contacts the squad members.

“Aegis squad, any signs of the invasion force?”

*Tsst*

A brief static sounds from the room’s speakers in which then Jinrai and Chifuyu, who are also overlooking the defense operation, listen for the replies from the security troopers.

“This is Six, nothing yet.”

“Aegis Five here, no beeps from the sensors.”

“Three reporting in, I’ve got none.”

“Four here, clear skies all around.”

“Aegis Two, no hostiles to repo—wait… I’m seeing incoming trails.”

“Trails…?”

The sudden news prompts the operator to turn to Chifuyu, who then walks up to her side. The operator then hands her communicator to Chifuyu as she then places it on her right ear.

“Can you get us a live feed, Aegis Two?”

“Right away.”

Within seconds, a tracing crosshair appears on the main screen and moves over to a particular blue blip marked as [AEGIS-02], who’s holding position north-east of the IS Academy. The crosshair selects the blip, which then blinks for a short while before another screen pops up in the middle, showing the live feed from Aegis Two’s Hyper-Sensor.

Jinrai gasps as the live feed shows two spiraling fiery trails approaching the Academy in a wide, parabolic trajectory.

“There’s no mistake. It’s Praxidike.”

“Are you sure, Takafumi?”

“Spiral trails. The pods are designed such that it would accelerate for as long as it’s in flight. Shallow canals forged in a spiral shape around the pod cause the friction-induced fire trails to be of spiraling pattern as well.”

"You cannot be bad at watching a movie. You cannot be bad at listening to an album.
...But you can be bad at playing a videogame, and the game will punish you and deny you access to the rest of the videogame."

Well, I could be wrong, it was only stated that it can "Easily reach Mach 7", however, you also have to remember that Laura not only use electricity, but conventional contained explosion method. (Which if I should say, kinda stupid)

Takes place about a month after the final events of Athéna Bouclier. Inami takes up the role of an instructor and assist his childhood friend, Tsurugi Katami, as she takes her first steps to acquiring the power to fight alongside him in his endeavours.

Well, if someone submits a good criticism, I would want a way to reply back to them. It just feels odd when someone throws in comments but there's no way for me to get back to him/her after reading it.

Then there's also me not liking the risk of trigger-happy trolls.

EDIT: FFS, Ninja'd + Scene!

Spoiler for Science!:

“Arisawa-kun, how long until the pods enter our attack range?” Asks Maya while, in her green Rafale Revive Basic IS, hovering next to Inami in the Proioxis.

“Hmm… Two minutes, tops.” He answers while putting up his right hand in a peace-sign gesture.

Iris, in her grey Rafale Revive, brings herself into hover near Inami and Maya. She calls up one of her Vent rifles on her right arm then nudges Inami’s shoulder.

“Well, theoretically… While the pods are armored, they still need to be able to travel far. If the pods have heavy armor, the weight will hamper their operational distance. That and factoring in the total weight of their ten drones cargo, I’m very sure the pods are not that heavily-armored to render our Vents’ shots ineffective.”

Inami and Iris turn their heads at each other then back to Maya.

“Sounds fair, Sensei! Well, Iris… Do you want to—?”

“Yes! Yes, I do!” She replies with slight excitement, drawing attention from Aegis One who then contacts the trio via comms.

“What is it? Don’t keep gossips to yourselves, guys.”

“N-No! I mean… well… Permission to expand our defense line, One.”

“For what purpose, Three?”

“…science.”

========== Meanwhile, at Hachijo, one of the off-coast Izu Islands ==========

A pair of blast-doors concealed by the exterior of Mount Nishi, one of the two mountains on Hachijo Island, rumbles loudly as it slowly shifts to the sides to reveal an electromagnetic rail catapult with a huge, spherical drop pod loaded onto it.

Within the pod lies the humongous, humanoid Carnage unit along with Gerald, who’s now suited up in the crimson-colored Minerva Pallas in a separate compartment in the drop pod.

“Status.” He contacts the male operator.

“First five drop pods should be entering their range any moment now, sir. The remaining five are still on countdown. Everything’s proceeding as planned, sir.”

“Good. The Carnage?”

“Final diagnostics shows all green, sir.”

“All right. Pallas’ systems are green as well.” Remarks the Praxidike head as he browses through the various prompts of diagnostic check reports popping up on the holographic visor screen within the Minerva Pallas’ helmet.

Gerald moves to lean onto a wall-mounted safety harness. As the Minerva Pallas back steps onto the floor sensor panel, a series of ergonomic grip clamps shifts out and presses onto the battle-armor, securing it firmly onto the wall.

An overview of the Chiba Prefecture displays on the Minerva Pallas’ visor screen as Gerald checks the area.

“Good. Send me out.”

“Good luck, sir. For Praxidike.”

“Yeah… For Praxidike.”
